Big Cookies, Baked with Heart Right Here in Mackay
We pour our hearts into every cookie - baked by hand each day using real ingredients and Christeen’s signature touch. Fresh from the oven, they’re perfectly crisp on the outside and soft in the centre. Enjoy them as they are, or warm them up for that irresistible gooey goodness.
Laffos Cookies was born from the lifelong friendship and shared passion of Mark (Laffo) Laffin and Christeen McKeever.
Mark’s vision and Christeen’s baking dreams beautifully merged in the heart of Mackay, turning their passions into a community favourite.
Partnering with Dan from Primal Coffee, whose dedication to quality mirrors their own, they created a unique gourmet experience centred around community, friendship, and the joy of delicious food.
Christeen -The Principle Baker
“When I bake for you, it's me giving you a warm hug. Cooking from scratch has always been my passion—birthdays, weddings, morning teas—any excuse will do. For me, knowing exactly what's in my food matters deeply. Real ingredients, not numbers or unpronounceable additives, are key, and I promise you’ll taste the difference.”
Our Process
Our cookies are baked fresh daily, with no preservatives - pure indulgence designed to be enjoyed immediately or shared soon after. Every bite is a testament to quality, passion, and flavour.
Our Ingredients
Every cookie starts with carefully selected, premium ingredients: all-Australian flour, castor sugar for sweetness, brown sugar for delightful crunch and caramel undertones, full cream butter (minimum 80% fat), fresh eggs - or "gold dust," as bakers like to say - and the finest Callebaut Belgian chocolate. Quality isn't an option at Laffos Cookies - it's our standard.
